Summer Cannibals Debut Track On NPR All Songs Considered
By: Caryn Robbins Apr. 26, 2016
Portland rock band Summer Cannibals will release their 3rd full-length LP, Full Of It, out May 27 on the legendary independent label Kill Rock Stars. Led by guitarist/vocalist Jessica Boudreaux and aided by a new powerhouse rhythm section of drummer Devon Shirley, bassist Jenny Logan and guitarist Marc Swart, the eleven songs spark with that perfect mix of snotty attitude, unbounded energy, and window rattling volume. Following a handful of growling rock 'n roll jams, "Simple Life" simultaneously slows the tempo and amps up Boudreaux' signature epic guitar antics, making for an anthemic album closer. "Simple Life" premiered on NPR All Songs Considered today and is available to post/share HERE.
The four musicians keep their collective foot on the gas pedal, roaring through tunes like the previously shared jagged, wailing opening track "Go Home" and the powerfully melodic "Say My Name." Energetic album title track "Full Of It" is an immediate earworm of distorted guitar, growling bass and irresistible vocal licks. The band will bring this energy to stages across North America as they join The Thermals on a national tour followed by a stint of headlining dates in June. Tickets are currently on sale HERE. The new album Full Of It is the band's defining statement to date. Recorded at the amazing analog recording studio The Dock with producer Chris Woodhouse (Thee Oh Sees, Wild Flag), the LP is one of those massive leaps forward that has defined the Summer Cannibals sound.
